The thing to remember is that custom tags are executed as the page is
being *created* on the server, while JavaScript is executed later, while
the page is being *displayed* on the client. Therefore, you cannot really
use a custom tag to execute JavaScript code -- but you can use it to
generate JavaScript. For example, the <html:form> tag does this for the
"focus" attribute.
Basically, Javascript in Struts pages is used exactly like you would use
it in a static HTML page.
